The CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet by Dr Manny Noakes is a higher-protein, moderate-carbohydrate, lower-fat weight-loss plan.

While it recommends more animal-based protein-rich foods and less carbohydrate-rich foods than the government's Australian Guide To Healthy Eating, it still meets the nutritional needs of most people by including fruit, vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals.

Some people already eat more meat and protein foods than recommended by more conventional weight-loss diets and may therefore find this diet easier to adopt than other eating plans. The diet promotes lean cuts of meat in line with current dietary recommendations.

Scientific studies into the Total Wellbeing diet showed that over 12 months, weight loss on this diet was the same as on a conventional higher-carbohydrate weight-loss diet. However, it is a better alternative to many fad diets because it is based on evidence and was developed by respected Australian nutrition researchers.
